Authorities have promised to reward whistleblowers with up to US$160,000 but there remain obstacles obstructing the fight against corruption in Vietnam, an official has said.
Cu Tat Dung, a member of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Internal Affairs, made the statement in a story published in Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday.
One of the responsibilities of the commission is combating corruption.
Regarding the whopping reward, Dung was referring to Joint Circular 01, to take effect on May 1, issued by the Government Inspectorate and the Ministry of Home Affairs, detailing rules on rewarding people who make outstanding achievements in anti-corruption.
